Create a folder on you're desktop & name it Chipset. Listed on the right side of the above page is Drivers. Click on the word Drivers. Next, under Chipset click "Download from". Pick a site to download from & save the download file into the folder you created on you're desktop. The file is compressed. Open the chipset folder & double left click the .exe file. Extract to within the LAN folder. Once finished. Open device manager. Find the yellow ! point for you're LAN controller/driver. Right click on the yellow ! point once & left click update driver. Windows hardware wizard will open. Click No, not at this time. Than click the next button. Another window will open. Left click once in the circle next to, Install from a list or specific location (Advanced). Than click the next button. Again, another window will open. We want to remove the green check mark next to, Search removable media (floppy, CD-ROM...). Click the green check mark once & it will go away. Click the Browse button. . Another window will open. (Browse For Folder). Click the + sign next to My Computer. Find the folder chipset on you're desktop. Open it.
Open the folder, INFUpdate & run the .exe file.
This will re-install the updated chipset drivers for you're Gigabyte board. Make sure you restart before testing you're internet connection. If the update fails to remove the yellow ! point in device manager you're onboard LAN controller may be defective.
It is suggested you call Gigabyte if you're board is still warranted. If it is not warranted buy & add a PCI network card.
Good Luck!
If I can help you further, feel free to post.
Suggestions & comments welcomed.

Hi,
To start you need to factory reset both adapters,
plug them both into a wall socket next to each other, press the config/f reset button, hold in until ap light goes off, repeat on the other one.
Now you should have a red status light on both.
Press the config/f reset button on one for about 5 seconds, wait until ap light stays on, this one is now your access point (ap) that should be plugged in to your router when you have finished config.
Now press the ap adapter config button again for about 5 seconds until ap light flashes, then press the config button on the other adapter until ap light flashes, wait until they both stop flashing, wait a few seconds, the status light on both adapters should be green, and one adapter should have an amber ap light.
Hope this helps.

It may be that you need a new, (Or good condition used), motherboard. You may not.
The problem could be the DC Power Jack. The DC Power Jack is small, and the body is made of plastic. Sometimes there is a metal shell around the plastic body. (The jack is a rectangular shape, and is just a little larger, than the outside portion of that AC adapter plug!)
This is an example of a DC Power jack for a Toshiba Satellite a215-s5807,
http://www.notebookworks.net/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=NBW52-0133
As you know there is a metal pin in the center, and at the back of the round hole, there are flat metal contacts.
Let me explain the construction of a DC Power Jack, and how it's mounted to a motherboard. This all has relevance to the solution.
Your laptop uses DC electricity. (The AC adapter converts AC to DC. Your laptop battery, and a flashlight battery, are examples of stored DC electricity)
DC uses a Positive connection, and a Negative connection. The metal pin in the center is Positive. The flat metal strips at the back are Negative.
That laptop DC Power Jack has metal prongs, that come out of the plastic body. One prong, (Or pin), connects to the Positive metal round pin, in the center of the jack.
There may be one, or two prongs, (Or pins), that come out of the plastic body, and connect to the Negative side of the jack. (Flat metal strips)
These prongs go down through holes in the motherboard, and are soldered on.
With the AC adapter plugged in, an accidental bump on the plug itself, could break the body of the jack, or break solder joints that hold the jack to the motherboard.
AC adapter removed, and battery removed. Use a NON-metallic object, and see if you can make the center pin of the jack move. See if the entire jack itself seems to move.
A.If the center pin moves, you have a broken DC Power Jack.
B.If the entire jack moves, you have cracked solder joints. (Broken)
Replacement of the DC Power Jack for A.
Re-solder the solder joint/s for B.
Cost of replacing a jack at a reputable computer repair shop? $90 to $150
Cost of re-soldering solder joints? $50 to $90
Cost of replacing the motherboard?
$250 on up.
If you are a skilled person with the correct tools, it is feasible for you to replace the jack, or re-solder the solder joints.
It is also feasible that you yourself, could replace the motherboard.
Some laptops have a poor motherboard design, for where the DC Power Jack is mounted to the motherboard.
Crude explanation would be, that the main body of the motherboard is a 1 foot square. Then a 2 inch square comes out of the side of the main body.
The DC Power Jack is mounted to that 2 inch square. From accidental bumping, OR just normal usage of inserting, and removing the AC adapter plug, this 2 inch square can crack away from the main body.
This, of course would require a motherboard replacement.

(Don't forget to buy, and use a cheap ESD wrist strap, to prevent static shock to the delicate hardware components, inside your laptop. Average cost is $7)
SOURCE: lan terminal not working
first check for all the drivers in the device manager....
if every thing is perfect in driver side, then check if the ethernet/ lan is enabled....
then check is the light in the ethernet adapter is lit, when you plug any ethenet cable in it...
still if it is not working, then finally try to update the latest driver for the ethernet controller....
if nothing works, then buy an pci ethernet card and use it.....
you can also buy external cards like usb to ethernet converter...
even belkin manufactures usb to ethernet controller....
